The band also plans to release "Given Up", the hard-hitting opener of Minutes To Midnight, as their next single, which will be accompanied by a live video compiled from footage of their recent trek to the UK.

First Dead By Sunrise Videos Surface
5/14/08
For those of you who may not be aware from our previous news post, Chester Bennington recentely premiered a selection of new songs from his highly anticipated solo side project "Dead By Sunrise" (which features Linkin Park lead vocalist Chester Bennington himself along with other current members of alternative rock group Julien-K) at a recent Club Tattoo Anniversary concert in Tempe, AZ. While the album itself is not expected to drop until sometime in 2009, sources have revealed that the concert (which took place on May 10th,2008) was professionally recorded and that good quality live versions of this performance should hopefully surface sometime in the future.

But for those of you who cannot wait to hear the new music, ProjektXKreations of YouTube has graciously provided these live bootlegs for your viewing pleasure:

Walking In Circles


My Suffering


In addition, a video of 'Walking In Circles/The Morning After' (not by Projekt) with very distorted/bad quality audio can be viewed here:



Enjoy!

Thanks to the boys over at lplive.net, as well as themudd for the heads up!

Linkin Hero IV

First Guitar Hero IV Details Shed

Quote:
While no song titles were yet confirmed, Van Halen, The Eagles, Sublime, and Linkin Park will all be making appearances on the tracklist. All songs in the game will be master tracks.
In all honesty, I'm more looking forward to Van Halen and Sublime, but I'm sure you all will be excited

Thanks to chadzero and Shadey!

New Tour Date in Albuquerque
5/8/08
Linkin Park will be performing at the Journal Pavilion in Albuquerque, New Mexico on August 6th. Please note that this is NOT a Projekt Revolution date, however fellow Projekt Revolution bands Ashes Divide and Atreyu will be the supporting acts. This is essentially a make-up date for the show that was cancelled in March due to Chester being ill.

Chart Beat: April 20th, 2008
4/20/08
It's been a while since our last Billboard post, but to recap what has happened over the last few weeks:

- Minutes To Midnight
has hovered around the #50 spot on the Billboard Top 200.
- "Shadow of the Day" failed to hit #1 on the Modern Rock or Mainstream Rock charts, making it the second straight single to do so after "Bleed It Out". The song peaked at #9 on the Hot 100.
- "Given Up" has entered the rock charts but has not yet cracked the top ten on either chart.

Billboard Top 200 Albums
Minutes To Midnight - #47 (Last week - #53)
Billboard Modern Rock Chart
Shadow of the Day - #12 (Last week - #9)
Given Up - #13 (Last week - #17)
Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart
Given Up - #14 (Last week - #14)

Lastly, thanks to forum member general41391, we've gotten a look at the Billboard Catalog 200 chart. This chart is a listing of albums that are too old to place on the regular album charts.

This week, Hybrid Theory placed at #57 on the list, selling 2,992 copies in the U.S. Official U.S. sales totals for the album are at 9,391,674 since its release in 2000. Meteora hit #80 on the same chart, selling 2,479 copies, bringing its total sales amount to 5,568,205 copies since 2003. The full list can be seen here

You may ask "I thought Hybrid Theory was certified diamond (10x platinum)?", and I can tell you that they were. Certifications such as gold, platinum, diamond, etc take into account the amount of albums shipped to retailers, and not an exact total of sold copies (since each store typically has copies of the album on their shelves that have not been sold). Hopefully this clears things up.

Thanks to general41391!

Busta Rhymes Collaboration Update
4/13/08
Way back, we posted a Rolling Stone article which claimed Linkin Park had collaborated with Busta Rhymes on a track for his newest album. Now the reputable hip-hop news site SOHH.com has corroborated the initial announcement when describing the new album, I'm Blessed, after hearing it at a recent listening party.

"The album also features appearances from Linkin Park, T-Pain along with production from longtime associates Pharrell and the legendary DJ Scratch."

At the time the Rolling Stone article was published, the song was called "It Looks Like We Made It", and the album itself (then-named Back On My BS) was due for release in December 2007. Obviously, this has been pushed back, and therefore the LP track may not be titled the same. As more details surface, we will keep you posted.
